Borussia Dortmund's U17 team secured a thrilling derby win, putting them firmly at the top of the standings. Coach Karsten Gorges initially lacked Dimitrios Grammozis due to suspension and Jonas Chowaniec, who was injured. However, striker Hamzath Mohamadou returned to the lineup. Dortmund took an early lead in the 23rd minute with a shot from a tight angle by Mohamadou.
Schalke, seeking to equalize, forced BVB goalkeeper Benett Henry Birtner into several saves. With the second half being calmer, both teams played at a high tempo, but BVB's defense remained strong. U17 coach Gorges praised his team's performance, noting their improved defensive set pieces, but also highlighted the need to work on transitions.
The U17s face RW Essen in their next away match, while the U19 team suffered a 4-3 loss in a friendly against Viktoria Köln, conceding four goals in quick succession.
